This novel is outstanding. Not only will it suck you into the world immediately within the first few chapters, the action actually starts really soon. And there is a reason for all the fights.

The MC is reincarnated, but unlike Doulou Dalu, there is a reason for this reincarnation and it is actually important for the plot. (but that part is not translated yet, it's somewhere near chapter 280)

I think this novel is refined because the details are so important. Something which the MC gets early in the story will be useful way, way, way back in the story . I was really surprised when it was used again, since I've totally forgotten about it.

Also, this is certainly an 18+ novel. A lot of gore and adult sequences.

most of the time in japanese novel you get A DENSE, inconsistent, unaware or dont know what to do, cowardly ,spineless, lucky, nice, pathetic, loser , pure innocent, misunderstanding ecchi situations mc which i really sicked of them. by far yun che is different kind. a rare kind. not only have an awesome dialouge interaction with the romance at the girls.it put in the right way. not your average wack or lame lines like you are beautiful or some lame cliche but instead he try undertsand the girls until to point from the girls start stupified by his unsual character turning it into attraction at him. my god it is marvelous. his revenge is not about just killing people but prefer make your life absolutely meaningless. buwahahahahaaha. his sense of moralty. it just awesome it is like if you treat him nice. he will treat you nicer tenfold but if you treat him bad. he will suffer you hundredfold. he is like the combination of lelouch + black jack + award oscar actor. also he has undying spirit which is umeasureable willpower. he treat the girls with great affection each one of them even the monster loli by far have better relationship than chufeng with eggy. one of my favourites

Read up to raw ch 313.

I belive that if you found this novel then you most likely either read Stellar Transformation or Coiling Dragon. There are many similarities in this story. This story uses relationships much better and the characters are also much more "fleshed" out then "Ieattomatos" stories but it hasn't as fascinating lvl up system for ki as he uses.

Neither of stories are what I would call really mature per say but "Against the Gods" is more mature in its content then "Coiling Dragon" and "Stellar Transformation".

To sum it up, its a joy to read a more mature version wuxia.

I'm not going to lament over its harem based nature, views on women or anything like that because it's a "power fantasy" novel and that's really the main reason many would read something like this. If you have issues with anything like that then don't read this because it's gonna be constantly throwing that in your face non-stop.

So the start for this series is really strong compared to other similar works. A problem I find with others such as Martial World or Martial God Asura is that your kind of just thrown a generic main character with zero backstory initially and then they suddenly get thrown a huge amount of different powers all at the same time and it gets kind of difficult to keep track of it all which puts me off. ATG handles this a little better by keeping it relatively simple and feeding you it a little bit at a time and spacing out his aquisition of powers more. Don't get me wrong, he still gets a bunch of powers very quickly but it's done in a slightly more digestable way in my opinion.


Some SPOILERS from here on;



Suffice to say the scale of the world and powers are huge and even though I usually hate timeskips, the way they handle the perception of time in the series actually makes me not care in the slightest. I'd say the only thing I find lacking is more descriptive sex scenes which for the most part range from heavy implications to only very vague details on what actually occured. I assume this is to keep its content rating down but I think it would be better for it if there was a little more spice in the mix.

I'm hoping that the series will continue on for several more thousand chapters at the very least and thankfully it does seem like certain things have been setup and shown that lead me to think this will be the case.

I really wanted to like this story. I read up to 380 and have to say goodbye. It has some really well thought out ideas, but the MC is just a hypocrite. He goes off telling girls they are #1 when that is all a lie. The fights were fun at first, but they are just the same thing just with louder bangs. Everyone is always astonished at everything. The over powered plot armors don’t make it fun anymore. I do suggest you give the story a try. Just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Against the Gods novel

The world building is Wuxia standard. But the story was really complicated, with multiple strands happening everywhere.
But, there are a few issues:
A. I have a problem with - not sex - but the treatment of women, but ... to avoid spoilers ... the violation of trust.
B. And then, I think 550 odd chapters in, the story might have got too tangled, and the author probably has lost a few strands...
C. The pattern is each arc is very similar. This is of course not a problem specific to this work - most long running shounen manga also have this structure, but let us not encounter an ice-frigid queen and be able to guess that by the end of the arc, by the end of the arc he would be a great benefactor to her, and she would be falling for him.
Will keep dipping in, but will skip a lot of it.
-------------
EDIT: 940 chapters
Decided to stop. I like to binge read, so I can see some plot threads that the author left hanging for a long time, and then did a patchwork closure on. I think the author has put in so many girls and plot twists, that he has trouble tying up loose ends.

Pros:
-Beginning starts out interesting and strong
-MC is likable in the beginning and kicks ass
-MC is smart and cunning
-a lot of humor
-good action early on
-plot is interesting
-world building is quite nice
-lots of diversity between powers, it leaves a lot to the imagination
-female characters are somewhat independent and not the usual damsel in distress

cons:
-MC becomes really unlikable later on
-Harem gets annoying and romance is terribly written
-Action scene becomes repetitve and they all sound/look alike
-Enemies are all dull and repetitve, becoming brainless and are all alike
-Yun Che's plot armor are above and beyond ridiculous levels (higher than linley's from CD)
-Random power ups for no reason
-humor starts to dull when author tries to incorporate "fan service/ ecchi moments" into story
-all characters, except MC, are 1 dimensional and poorly written
-BAD writting overall
-MC's arrogance becomes hypocritical and unreasonable
-MC is a rapist no matter what anyone says (and a molester)

Overall, I started out loving ATG, read 100 chapters all the way through in one night (when the translations were only at ch. 100) and enjoyed it. Nearing the late 200 chapters though, I started noticing a lot of repetition with EVERYTHING and inconsistiencies with the MC's personality, It feels as if the author let the success get to his head and started to write drivel. after the late 300's I thoroughly hated the MC's personality. It was hypocritical, demeaning, unreasonable, arrogant, and dull. He became the average xian xia protagonist. I was really disappointed because I really loved the novel's beginning. (also he rapes a girl who "supposedly" actually wanted it. I don't care if she wanted it, if she says no, then it means no. You don't force it on a person who CAN'T EVEN MOVE TO RESIST. Anyone saying it is not rape is delusional. Is it acceptable in the context of the story? Possibly. But rape is still rape. I felt morally disgusted with MC after that part and it only went downhill from there). You can choose to read this novel but really, there are better choices for reincarnation novels. Transcending the Nine Heavens and Sovereign of the Three Realms are two novels that have reincarnation and the author's writting style is especially eloquent. The plots are interesting and REMAIN interesting unlike ATG. Characters are fleshed out more and repetitiveness is less common.

Like always I say nothing is perfect so I never give a score of 10 but...

WARNING HUGE SPOILER READ IT AND FALL IN LOVE!


Ahhh that was my ideal revenge one that does not kill the person but mark him with eternal suffering!

The MC is great not your average OP mc I mean not yet maybe..
The girls? Thumbs up! there back ground there character are one of a kind!
Looking forward to it wanna read more I mean more!

EDIT: This series has unfortunately become incredibly boring. Each arc is repetitive and very long-winded, and I mean almost as bad as Bleach levels of stretching and repeating plot lines. Every villain is the same gloating, sadistic douchebag who wants to torture people and rape women (usually targeting someone from the MC's harem for extra douche points). And the MC ain't much better. As of the current raws released by the author everything is more or less stagnant. Just arc after arc of tournament battles and dimension travelling from the MC. In-story years passing with the MC stuck in another world while all the people whose lives he has impacted struggle and suffer in the wake of his over the top activities.

I feel bad for even liking this novel as all that investment of time and interest has been getting lesser and lesser payoffs until now I don't even expect anything good from this story anymore.


My first taste of a Chinese web novel and I have to say I'm very impressed.
At first I feared the MC was going to be yet another naive, pushover character like the majority of Japanese LN "heroes" but boy oh boy was I proven wrong! The first real impact I had from the MC is the scene described by bakaleaf in the review below me; it has to be THE most satisfying personal justice I have ever seen a protagonist commit upon the villain. In any Japanese LN the bastard would have gotten away scott free and spent the rest of the story gloating over the MC as the latter is powerless to do anything. But not with Ni Tian Xie Shen, oh no my friends, in THIS novel the MC does exactly what I wish most other weaksauce MCs would do in similar events. Revenge is best served bloody, up close and personal as well as leaving your deserved victim alive long enough to suffer physically AND mentally.

I am eagerly looking forward to the next scumbag that gets brutalized for his or her sins by Yun Che.

If someone treats the MC with genuine kindness, he'll return in tenfold. If you mistreat him, he'll return the favor a thousandfold.

Nice torture scene
